Re: 1966 Plymouth Fury 3

Your patience will thank you as well as your wallet....I'm sure I still have bits of dynamo mounting lurking in boxes to this day. Yeah. People suggested to get the full set of pulleys off a scrap car, or buy an aftermarket set. Both are in the $600-800 range, by which time I might as well just dro...

Re: 1966 Plymouth Fury 3

That's bloody annoying......Shades of Zephyr Six there. Two or three different dynamo castings, at least three bracket lengths and various shim options. Whatever worked on one engine didn't on another and even if it looked in-line it wasn't and shagged water pump/dynamo bearings..... You're going t...

Re: What did you do today?

.. the car gets a little squirrelly on the curves at speed. I never got that phrase, I know what it means but does it fly through the air and up a tree at the first sign of a dog?
